Abstract(s)
Criar e desenvolver um bom ecossistema empreendedor, para que as start-ups
possam ter sucesso, é de extrema importância no contexto económico, pois estas
assumem-se como grandes impulsionadoras do desenvolvimento económico, criando
produtos e serviços inovadores ao mesmo tempo que contribuem para a diminuição do
desemprego.
As decisões de financiamento são conhecidas por determinarem o sucesso de uma
start-up e, por isso, a questão do financiamento assume uma enorme importância na
atualidade.
A presente investigação procurou compreender as decisões de financiamento das
start-ups em Portugal. Para isso, realizou-se um questionário destinado às empresas
composto por perguntas de resposta aberta e fechada, procurando chegar ao maior
número possível de start-ups de diferentes setores de atividade. De seguida os
questionários recebidos foram alvo de tratamento de dados através da folha de cálculo
Excel.
Este estudo apresenta como principal conclusão que as decisões de
financiamento de uma start-up são uma condição para o seu sucesso. Numa fase inicial
a preferência recai sobre o financiamento dos fundadores, recorrendo ao Bootstraping,
nas fases seguintes é notório a preferência do financiamento interno, sendo que só em
último caso recorrem ao financiamento externo, confirmando a aplicabilidade da Teoria
da Pecking Order.

Financing decisions are known to determine success, and therefore the issue of financing is one of the most important topics on these days. This research main objective is to understand the financing decisions of start-ups in Portugal. To this end, we conducted a questionnaire for companies that had open and closed questions, trying to reach the largest possible number of start-ups from different sectors of activity. The questionnaires received were then subject to a data analysis process using Excel. The main conclusion of this study is that the financing decisions of a start-up are a condition for its success. In an initial phase the preference is for using the resources from the founders, using Bootstraping, and in the following phases there is a clear preference for internal funding, and only in the last case do they resort to external funding, confirming the applicability of the Pecking Order Theory.
